Coming Up in August 2008

This Month: End of Session Checkouts and the YW Summer BBQ!

As the summer session comes to a close, we will be holding our End of Session Checkout Meetings on Wednesday, August 13.
This is a mandatory meeting - ALL interns must attend. Please contact your placement specialist to set up a meeting time before Friday, August 8th. Appointments begin at 11am and will go until around 4:30pm. You will be paid 2 extra hours for attending (in addition to your 40 regular work hours). It will be held at the JCYC office at 1237 Van Ness, Suite 200.

The Summer Session will be ending on August 17 (Friday, August 15 for most interns). We will be holding our annual YouthWorks Summer BBQ the following Friday, August 22 at Dolores Park from 12pm-3pm. Come to pick up your last paycheck of the summer, have some free BBQ, and find out more about the YLT. See you there!

Please contact your Placement Specialist with any questions or issues you may have.
